Israel/Palestine Thread

Big supporter of the Tans in our own history, Danzy? Similar tactics and attitudes, horrific, albeit on a far far lesser scale than the zionists are doing now. Rooted in the same sense of superiority and "otherism". Collective punishment and reprisals against civilians.

Perhaps we could refer to Irish zionists as "Tans" to distinguish when we are specifically referring to them rather than zionists as a whole?

What shite is this?

Are you saying that the murder of pensioners and old people is valid, because they may have once done a 2-year stint in the IDF in their younger years. Is that what you are saying?

You are right Danzy, Noted imperialists Hamas stole all the Israeli land 75+ years ago, pushed the Israelis into a small area of the land they had been on for generations, and then blockaded them from the outside world. They are still even today encroaching into the small areas allocated to the Israelis by pushing violent Hamas settler mobs into the West Bank. All we can do today is salute the oppressed Israelis in their plucky david-vs-goliath resistance against such overwhelming odds.

Seriously, how can a person twist reality so much? Is it yourself you are trying to convince, or others?

The Israeli forces decades long reign of terror and mass murder along with the recent escalation of their genocidal goals make the Black and Tans look about as menacing as Paw Patrol by comparison.

Born of the same ideology of imperialistic occupation, but backed up with far more weaponry and violent intent.

That was WWI not WWII, as no one said that about WWII.

You are spinning yourself into knots now.

I have no idea. Opinions would be split id imagine.

QNN?

You do know that this is the mouthpiece for Jihadits and Hamas?

Do you do any due diligence to the false information you spam this thread with?

QNN is currently banned from Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, as they were found to be spreading disinformation. They were banned from Twitter as well, but seems their account has been restored.

The IDF headquarters is based in Tel Aviv therefore the IDF headquarters is a legitimate military target right? If civilians die because Hamas try to bomb the IDF headquarters they they (according to some on here) are legitimate "collateral damage"

How many times have we also heard that Palestinians are not "innocent civilians" because they voted for Hamas (17 years ago) surely then by that logic there are no innocent Israeli civilians because they voted for Netanyahu, they allow the continuing expansion of illegal settlements, they allow the continuing murder of Palestinians by illegal settlers, they allow the continuing apartheid commited upon Palestinians by the israeli government.

If all Palestinians deserve to be punished for the actions of Hamas then by that faulty logic you would have to concede that all israeli civilians deserve to be punished for the actions of its government?

"The key problems for Hamas are on duration, and they want deeply unreasonable demands on prisoner swaps."

Nothing to do with Netanyahu saying this?

"The big gap between the two sides appears to be over what would follow any agreed truce. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed not to pull troops out until "total victory", which he defines as eradicating Hamas.

Hamas says it will not sign up to any temporary truce unless Israel commits to a withdrawal and permanent end to the war."
